Potential use of high-throughput sequencing of bacterial communities for postmortem submersion interval estimation.
Article in Brazilian journal of microbiology : [publication of the Brazilian Society for Microbiology], 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Microorganisms play vital roles in the natural decomposition of carcasses in aquatic systems. Using high-throughput sequencing techniques, we evaluated the composition and succession of microbial communities throughout the decomposition of rat carcasses in freshwater. A total of 4,428,781 high-quality 16S rRNA gene sequences and 2144 operational taxonomic units were obtained. Further analysis revealed that the microbial composition differed significantly between the epinecrotic (rat skins) and the epilithic (rocks) samples. During the carcass decomposition process, Proteobacteria became the dominant phylum in the epinecrotic, epilithic, and environmental (water) samples, followed by Firmicutes in the epinecrotic samples and Bacteroidetes in the epilithic and water samples. Microbial communities were influenced by numerous environmental factors, such as dissolved oxygen content and conductivity. Our study provides new insight about postmortem submersion interval (PMSI) estimation in aquatic environments.
